I only need to do the tie for the top, but that will be waiting until tomorrow night. For some reason, the pattern calls for a 1 x 34 piece of material for the tie. Then you fold each side under 1/4 inch and press and fold in half and press so until you are done, the ties is only 1/4 inch wide on either side of the bib. It is ridiculous. So tomorrow night I am going to cut a new one a little bit wider! There is supposed to be a ruffle around the edge, but since it is for a boy, I thought it would be too girly. According to Joel, however, it would not be girly and I should take apart the two pieces of the bib and put a ruffle in there. Mr. Overachiever! I think I will let it alone.
This was my first time doing applique, and I loved it! I didn't zoom in so you can't see the detail very well (maybe that was planned) but it turned out so much nicer than I thought it would for my first project! It just takes a little patience is all, especially for the fork. Usually I do not enjoy tedious projects like that, but I really enjoyed this. I'm already thinking up some more stuff to do:)
We had a much better day today than yesterday. Children behaved. We took two walks and even played on the playground. I had real work and wasn't quite as slow as yesterday. I have to get back into typing mode. My speed has slowed down since I have had about a month off.
Friends are coming tomorrow so I am not sure if I will be posting tomorrow night. I hope everyone else had an equally better day than Monday went, regardless of how nice your Monday was!
